Their text smoothes the transition from AACR2 to Resource Description and Access (RDA) and Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR), covering a variety of electronic and digital media and providing cataloging examples in MARC, Metadata Object Description Schema (MODS), and Dublin Core (DC). VERDICT This is an up-to-date and handy desk reference for catalogers of electronic, digital, cartographic, sound, video, Internet, database, and other mixed media. It's also suitable for non-tech services librarians tackling original cataloging of electronic or digital media and those curating and creating access to locally created content within their communities and institutions. With a useful CD-ROM for step-by-step help and a companion website that will be updated as necessary. Recommended.-Catherine C. McMullen, Canby P.L., OR (c) Copyright 2011.
